Atlanta Dispatch : We are reliably informed of a little scene that took place before tho committee to investigate the offioe of Pxinoipal Keeper of the Peniten tiary. Governor Brown appeared before the committee, and before being interro gated demanded as a matter of right tnat his own etenegraphio scribe should be al lowed to take down bis testimony, that the Governor might revise it. Messrs.: Garrard and Walters, of the oommittee, arose and promptly denied that the Governor had suoh a right. The Governor insisted, and Mr. Chambers, the ohalrman of the oommittee, then ask ed the Governor to retire while the com mittee passed on the question. The committee unanimonsly decided that the Governor had no such right, and that ho must be examined as other wit nesses. They then sent for Governor Brown and acquainted him with their decision. Governor Brown then deman ded that Mr. Nelms be allowed to be present to confront tho witness. Mr. Chambers said that he (Governor Brown} had not been summoned by the oommit tee, that they had not asked for his testi mony, bnt that he was there at the re quest of Captain Nelms, and that he coaid make his statement. The Govern or (hen elated that he knew abont the contraot between Nelma and the lessees in regard to transporting convicts. In re ply to a question if the Governor thought the contract a legal one, he said he thought it was legal, bnt not one that Nelms could ofiidaily enforoe, Mb. H. W. J.

CHOP NOTES. Bast is seriously injuring cotton craps in Jefferson county. Cotton is opening rapidly since the rains in Terrell ccnnty. Baker Countt.—Albany News: Cater pillars have done no damage as yet, bat the farmers are afraid they will. Talbot Countt.—Standard: We no tice that crops through the lower portion of the county are looking well; the late rains have been very beneficial to them. Polk Countt.—Oalartown Advertiser: Wo cotios an occasional spot of rust in cotton fields near town. The late rains have rather damaged this crop. Pike Countt. — BarnesviUe Gazette Farmers have adjomned fodder pulling till the ram somewhat ceasts. Many are complaining sorely of rust in cotton. Wo sec some fields rained by it. Cobb Countt. —- Marietta Journal: The late heavy rains have been very dis« asterous to the cotton crop, so muoh so, that it is now thought that not more than a half crop will be gathered in this section. The corn crop was never better. Lauben3 Ccustt.—Eistman Times: We heard considerable complaint of rust in cotton. The rains in Laurens, like here and elsewhere, ssem3 to have been very spotted. TJfpsb Monbds Countt.—BarnesviUe Gazette: As to the cotton outlook, even at this late date, it is very uncertain, and indefinite. The season has not been propitious at all, a great deal of the crop is late, with bat little matured fruit, and withal not very healthy, brought about by an excess of rain, then hot weather and some cool rights. There are considerable signs of boll worms; should the rainy weather continue, they can play sad havoc with tho crop yet. About Late Cotton.—Sandersville Courier: General Robert Toomba_ offers his overseers a reward for any evidence that a cotton square forming on the lOih of August wiil make a maturo boll, but none of them as yet have baen able to give the information. If it be true that a square at that time will not make ms] ture fruit, it will set at naught much ol the fruit that is now on the cotton weed, as well as cxilude all that may form hereafter. Tnis, of course, would short en the crop considerably. We wonld like to give placo to tho experience of some of oar farmers on this. Doughebtt Countt.—Albany News New cotton is beginning to come in now, and the pickers are busily at work. Oar report this week comes from Mr. W. G. Cross, an extensive planter in West Dongherty. He says cotton ia doing as well as oould bs expeoted. “On my place I have seen no oaterpillars; only a few Hies. If the oaterpillars will only ‘hold oil’ a little longer I will make more cotton this year than I did last. Will gather only a little better lhan a half crop of oorn. The pea crop is a failure out of the way. I think more of the planters will put in a heavy small grain crop. Oats will be planted in No vember abundantly.” The weather has been very wet and unfavorable to ootton for several days. The intelligence from the mining dis. diets in Lumpkin oennty are very en couraging. The Gainesville and Dahlonega rail road is being permanently located. Dahlonega wants to be shaved, and mourns the absenoe of a tonsorial artist. Mountain Signal: Charles Wells, H.

The excursion along the Brunswick t Albany road to Brunswick, Fernand ina and other points on the 23 of September will ba quite large.

He has a pedigree of hie family, whioh goes back to the year 1106. This is quite an interesting document to we Americans, moBt of whom are afraid to go back be yond the third generation, through fear of finding their family pedigree hanging to a limb by a rope halter. Very few of the English nobility can show so old and honorable a document as tide. Oh, call him King Bill at cnc9 and be done with it.

The calls continuing, CoL Jones was compelled to respond, and made a telling little address, whioh was most enthusiastically applauded., He stated that he was thoroughly identified in interest and feelings with the pros perity of this city, past, present and fu ture, but ae the representative of another city, and the editor of a journal circula ting in a differnt section, he did not con sider it proper or right to occupy the at tention of this audience with any re marks; he commended the canBe of tho citizens of Savannah in this matter, and hoped their aation wonld b9 resolute, wise and disoreet. It was not his pnrpose to attempt to array this audience in opposition to the Legislature of the State; doubtless the members were swayed by the proper motives; nel- thof wm it his desire to dioteto what . oourse this people should pursue in the pnaaises. -He hoped, however, that the sober aeoond thought would yet p.0f ail, and the right remedy be discovered. He was with the people Of Sasaanah in this oSort to ooatwTert at effects of What does Beem like unfriendly notion against Ibis oity. There were abler heads than his, however, to consider the matter, and all that he oould say was that he was earnestly with the people of Savannah, and that he wished for her the great fa- tare and prosperity to which she was en titled. Colonel Jones’ remarks were listened to with great" at,tntion, and were warm ly applauded at their close. CROP NOTES. „ ’ In Greed conaty cotton is taking the rnst generally.

Cotton Chop Taik.—The Thomasville Times says yon can bear almost any kind of a report on the streets about the ootton crop One planter will tell yon that he is rained, another will say that the caterpillar is going to eweep the conntry; another that the rnst has mined the crop, and then yon'll meet with another who will tell yon that he ben a better crop than he had last year. The thing is mixed. We saw yesteday, says the Eufaula News, the tops of several stalks of cotton that had been taken at random from a cotton patch on the Shorter plaoe, three miles above town, that were literally riddled by caterpillars that were then crawling abont over them. The caterpillars will soon destroy the whole top crop of the ootton patches in which they are now found. A gentleman of this city, says the Eufaula Times and News, who has an eighty acre latch of cotton on the Dunwoody place in Florida, says the stalks are from fonr to six feet high and to all appearances it is as flue a patch of ootton as ever grew, yet he wll take four bales of cotton for the whole patch as it stands. He says tho boll worms have almost totally destroyed it. We heir daily of the devastation of this insect in this section.

THE HOUSE met at the usual hour, the Speaker in the obair. The roll was oalled and the Jour nal was read and approved. Mr. Paine of Chatham', moved to re consider the aotion of the House relative to the bill allowing Judges of the Supe rior end city courts to fix tha oosts of Sheriffs and Clerks. The motion did not prevail. Tne special order of t&e day was the consideration of the railroad bilL Mr. Westbrooks of Dougherty, moved to postpone the bill till Wednesday. Mr. Cox did not move for a postpone ment, bnt thought the House might wait on Mr. Hall of Spalding. Mr. Tamer of Brooks, thought that the bill conld lie over until to-morrow. Mr. Westbrooks changed his motion, at the request of Mr. Binkin of Gordon, to Monday next instead of Wednesday. The motion was lost.

At tbie point, therefore, the debate wan resumed, Mr. Cox on the floor. Mr. Cox thought the seotion unconstitutional, and spoke on this line for sems time. Mr. Milner, of Bartow, also spoke on the bill. Mr. Harris, of Bibb, addressed ths Honae also. Mr. Fort, of Sumter, also spoke on the question. Mr. Mynatb thought the section was Constitutional, and that so far as the Constitution went, the Legislature should restrict the roads, bnt only so far we may regulate way freights, but the through freights are entirely ont of onr control. We should not suffer the railroads to op press the people, and we ehonld not, on the other band, oppress the railroads The use of the commisaionera are to en* force the law; no law is of any effeot without some man to enforoe it. And the commissioners of freights and rates, are forts and protection of the people, The system is subject to criticism, bnt everythingis eabjeot to criticism.

Mr. Fort also called the previous ques tion on the balanoa of the substitute. The Speaker stated that the motion was ont of order nnder the rules of the House.

Mr. Fame of Chatham, of the Enroll ment Committee, has been very busily employed for the entire session. Every bill introduced into the House and Sen ate must pass through his hands before its disposition is reported to the Honse. Something between eight and nine han dred bills have baen before the General Assembly daring the present session and that of last year: The debate to-day on the Railroad bill, on the motion of Mr, Cox to etnke ont the first section of the committee’s substitute, involves but one question— that of the creation of a board of rail road commissioners to supervise and regulate the freight and pasiengcr charges of every road in the State. The disposition of the question de prives the substitute of any enforcing value whatever, and makes the provis ions of the bill merely general in their operations. The triends of the measure are not al together favorable to the substitute, pre fixing either tho bill offered by Mr. Rankin, or that by Mr. Fort, of Sumter The debate will be probably resumed (o-motrow. ‘ No session on the part of the Senate to-day. Caboltnn. Atlanta, Ga„ August 30th, 1879. THE HOUSE met this morning at the usual hour, and was called to order by the Speaker. Bev. J. Jones, the Chaplain offered the open ing prayer. The roll waB oalled and the journal read and approved. Mr. Hanks, of Whitfield, moved to re consider the aotion of the House relative to the striking out of the first section of the "Railroad bill.” On this question Mr. Dnpree, cf Ma con, called the yeas and nays. The call was sustained,' and the vote resulted in 53 yeas to 60 nay?. A communication from his Excellency, Governor Colquitt, announcing the elec tion of Hon. B. H. O. Smith to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J. M. Brannan, of Bryan. Mr. Smith presented himself at the bar of the House and took the usual oath of offioe, whioh was administered by the Speaker.. the bailboad bill was then taken up. Mr. Hanks moved to postpone the consideration of the bill nntil next Hocdiy. Tne motion did not prevail. The substitute of the committee was withdrawn by consent of the Home, and the bill offered by Mr. Rankin, of Gor don, which was agreed to be considered the original bill, was then read, and the Honse entered into a consideration there of. Mr. Fort offered an amendment to the first section by way of a preamble. The division showing no qnornm, Mr. Fort oalled the yeas and nays. The call was sustained, and the vote gave a result of 84 yeas to 16 nay?, so the preamble was adopted. The first section of the bill was then read. This seotion defines what ia unjust discriminations and extortions in freights and passenger rates. Mr. Wright, of Biohmond, moved to strike out the section. Upon division no quorum web declar ed. Mr. Fains, of Chatham asked for a call of the Honse. Mr. Cox hoped the oall would not ba insisted on, as there evidently was a quorum presect.' Mr. Paine—How do yon know P Mr. Cox—By look Sg the Hiuss over. Mr. Paine—Wo can't tell by that, haven’t we given seats to abont tuo thousand people ? [Laughter.] Mr. Paine called - for the previous question. The yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Bsnkin. Several gentleman explained why they did not vote. Mr. Wright, of Richmond, asked for a call of the House, by right guaranteed by the Rules. The roll wm sounded, to ascertain if a quorum was present. The call disolomd < 113 membdra preseat, more than a qno rnm. The question was then put on the sail for the yeas and nay?. The call was sustained and the question on striking out the first seotion was put to the House. Tho vote resulted in a vote of 15 yeas to 91 nays. So the motion did not prevail. Mr. Rnsaell, of Chatham, moved to indefinitely postpone the farther consid eration of the bill. The Speaker declared tha motion ont of order. Mr. Htrriaon, of Stewart, moved to strike out certain words in section first. Mr. Fort ross to. a point of order, that as the House had refused to strike out the section, it amounted to itB adoption of the section. The Speaker ruled the point well ta ken. The second section was read, wh’oh de clared that any road violating the pro visions of the bill shall be subject to the penalties contained therein. Mr. Westbrook, of Dougherty, offered an amendment to come in after the word "shall” in said seotion, to-wit: “pay or agree to pay any rebate or bonne in the nature thereof, directly or indi rectly, or from doing any act to mislead or deceive the public as to the real rates charged for freights or passage, or from making any contract with any railroad company which may have tho effeot to defeat or lessen competition in their re spective businesses, or to encourage mo nopoly." _ Mr. Harpe called for the previous ques- tion. The call was sustained. The question was then pnt on the amendment by Mr. WeBtbrook. The amendment was voted down. Mr. Turner, of Coweta, moved to amend by prefacing the section with these words: “Beit emoted by ths au thority aforesaid." The amendment was agreed tr. Mr. Strother moved to amend oy mak ing the violation of the bill a misdemean or. Withdrawn. Seotion It was adopted. Seotion 3 was read. This section prohibits the oharging of indiscriminate rates of freights and passage between Io calities of irragnlar dietancss, reserving to the roads the right to issae the usnal exonrsion, thousand miles and competi tion tickets and rate?. Mr. Paine moved to strike out the eeo- tion Mr. Hanks moved to amend as fol lows : “Provided, nevertheless, that said railroads may increase the rate of freights for the shorter distance, not more than 25 per cent, on the rates charged for a longer distance on the same class of freights; provided farther, that each in crease shall not apply to any shipment for a greater distance than twenty-five miles.” Mr. Davie, of Houston, moved to sub stitute the following for the amendment of Mr. Hanks: “Further, that the said railroad companies may charge not ex ceeding 25 per cent, in advance on thoir charges from one terminal point to an other, on the pro rata distance of local freights, bnt this shall not entitle them to charge for the same class of freights a greater sum for less distance than for a larger. The substitute was adopted in lien of Mr. Hanks’ amendment. Mr. Lnffman, of Murray, to amend by prefacing “Be it enacted by the authority aforesaid” to the third seoti.m. Adopt ed.

The writer pasted rapidly and smoothly over a"most ths entire length of thi# great Georgia highway two days ago, which just now oocupies suoh a Urge share of publio attention, and whose future seems hung up like Mahomet’s ^coffin—“twixt earth and beavsn.” ITS I EES EXT CONDITION is simply admirable. CoL Adams and Messrs. Lofton, Jones and Fiewellyn for once have furbished an exception to the general ru'e— that works of internal improvement conduct ed by the State are demoralizing and un profitable. The road bed, track, bridges and manage ment of this important artery of commeroe will compare favorably with the beat and moat economically administered private en* teiprisea of (be Union. There is nothing loose or BLACK TWISTED abont the establishment, but on the contra ry the strictest discipline and system obtains, and eveiy effinti and employee is held seve rely accountable for the proper discharge of his duty. In estimating the income of the Road, duo allowance should be made for its aotnal value ; not the past cost of the concern in the flash days whioh suooeeded the war. Thus, if the Road and appurtenanoea were w:tth no more than ine million and a quar ter when It came into the possession ot the State, it is npon that valuation that all divi dends should be predicated. Had this been done, it will be seen that for a year or two under the present management the Road has actually earned lully live per oent. for the Btate, if the rent paid for rolling etoak be included, and aside from the many improve ments that have been added. This is nos a bad showing when so much of the business has been of a local natme. With an unobstructed outlet to KNOXVILLE and the "West, wa doubt not it would be one ot the beat paying roads in the South. But the question has been sett’ed, if some luck less lessee takes hold on the terms imposed by ths Legislature, or Tom Scott gobbles it np with a view to securing Southern votes in Congress for his favorite hobby, the Texas and f scifio Railroad. The argument, there fore, is exhausted, and we oan only hope for the best, thougn the outlook is certainly not cheeriDg either for the Central or the foroed extenders of the Macon A Brunswick Rail road, if; such adventurous spirits can be found. In the meanwhile it .is pleasant to note the BiPIDDEVELO'PENT of all ihs towns and industries on the line ot the route to Brunswick. Cochran has a stately block of brick stores on tho site late ly devastated by fire, and is extending on all sides. Eastman, too, shows decided eviden ces improvement, and the tnrpsntine, lumber, s'.ock, and agricultural interests arc aU rapidly advancing, pari paeeu, as the capa bilities of this pine o mu try begin to be pro perly appreciated. At Eastm>n we eaw probably THS BUST cor; ON FIELD in Georgia. It wm a perfect mess of flswore, fruit auo foliage, notau inch or the soil be ing visible. it was astonishing also to observe how well the corn crops had turned out, despite the long droughts of summer, all along tho road to Jc8up. There once despised "pine barrens” whenever end ilently elevated for di ainage, with a liitlo “ oow-penning,” or the smallest artificial assistance, produce wonderfully. Tho citt’o and sheep range, too, is excellent. No housing in winter is ncedei and the stock eat ihs green wire-grass or browse up on the cine, briars and bay buds of the swamps, ia stormy weather seeking eems leafy covert which affords them protection from too wind.

It has been said that this trial will oo the State more than it ie worth. No question involving the honor and integ rity of the government of tha State can be estimated In a mere matter of “dirty dollar?;” it involves a higher principle than money. If an official aocused of defalcation is not to be impenohed, what use is the provision in the new constitution on the subject of impeiohmantB? Mr. Gold- smith will have a fair and just trial.

This house had orders from all over the country, including Maoon, to fill yesterday and being in inch a hurry to make the ice they unintentionally left the back and front doors open, and this ooolneis originated there. A petition, signed by most of our delicate citizens, has been sent to the City Oonnoil, re questing them to pass a law requiring "this institution” to freeze with closed doors. But the “largest” portion of onr citizens protested against this petition, they claiming that the iee house is a public benefactor, and that it the only invention that has ever been discovered that oan successfully keep the thermom eter from crawling up into the "nine ties.” This grea t institu .ion was— X.’I.

To afford toms idea of this business wa need only oite the ope rations of a single firm, that of HESSES. D B WADLS.T & CO., which is located at 5% tfacon & Brunswick Railroad. The writer had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wailey and his txcsilent wife on the train cn ronte for their homo at Brentwood, which is the name of the pcBt cilice at 5}£. Ho had been to St. Louis to purchase additional machinery and gearing for Eevsral new mills. And here it should be said that President Wadley his no con nection whatever with his brother’s business. Tha ffim Is pomp need of Mr. .O. C. Bacon, Mr. Cl. R. Milian, of Savannah, and Di R. Wad’oy. The latter oven pa;a hi3 way like any other passenger ovor the Central Rail road when p«eirg over it. This company are the owners cf three saw mil s acd vast forests of pine land. At Breniwood the-y give constant employment to sixty band?. and ship annually EIGHT UILLIO JS of feet of lumber. This is cold coaetwiso, from Savannah to the Biitieh Provinces, and in Live: pool, the Wo-1 Indies and South Amaiios. Iu ten days they cin ent, trans port, and load a ship with lumber at tho wharves of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad iu Savannah. They have two other mills of tho same capacity, so that this c* igle establish ment will send abroad twenty four millions of fo.t of lumber every year. Last yeir they paid $20,000 in fre'ght to the Maoon & Brunswick Railroad. Tho Brentwood mhl is situated on the confines of a tract of nug- mficentiy timbered lard, which covers rosrv thousand aoseb, and extends to tha dietanco of fifteen miles from the railroad. To permeate this vast territory and render the lumber available, tha company are building a tramway fifteen miles in length, at a coat of $2,500 per mile, with intersecting roads and brandies. In fifteen years they will denude this,immense principality of its lumber, pull np stakes and remove elsewheie. This is bnt one of many other es'abHeb ments, and still the traveler in a private conveyarctf through this country will hardly find A STICK ANIB3, and mil’ion of acres of the finest pine timber in the world remain in their virgin condition and primeval solilnle. Much of the cleared land will be valuable for agricultural put pes os, and it requires no prophet to perceive that ere the lapse of another half century this neglected pins region will be oovered with waving fields of cottOD, com and sugar cane, and thoasancs of ehetp, goats and oattlo entieb the inhabitants. THE COTTON FBCSPE0T all along tho road was quite enoomsging. While other portions of the State have suf fered from excessive rains, h:ra the water oouraes were oil very low and the shallow pends dry. Not a drop too mush of water nas fallen. The cotton weed is almost en tirely free from lost and is grazing and put ting on fruit finely. Nothing was said of caterpillars and soon it will be too lata far these pests to do serious injury. Oaths wbole, the agricultural outlook is satisfac tory, and though the oom crop of the State will fall considerably short of an average, yet so abundant will be tbs yield of peas, po tatoes, turpips and rice, that with the aid of the next oat orop, not a bushel of oorn need be imported from the West another year to S I Could the read er of this be brought into con tact with the hoc: of respectable witnesses who re gard Simmons’Liv- er Regulator a? their gresteit safe guard and friend, they would be con vinced.
