An Important Biol.—The came paper say<>: Te»t'.rday wa3 brought to a euccessfnl clo-n tba bill for the relief of the Macon and Augusta Riilroad from tar fi. fas., each ioi rorty thous-and dollars for taxes for tba years '74, '75, '76 and ’77. About a jag“, these fi. fas. were levied on the road, and proceedings hod to enforce tho aam.-. Tnc amount was heavy, and the at torney tor the road, Judge Jos. S. Hook, of —tr-usia, vigorously resisted their en- foro-debt by affidavits of illegality in the .^oiior and ultimately in tne Su- pt»>n.u Goar;. Ho war met, however, by the ■ mtntc, and the judgments of tho eburt* dt -eet, l*tt the company must pay t: tax wricu was levied on the ba sis u* the p«r vnlao of the stock, and also to pay tho p-iaOT for non return.

Tho bill was referred to the finance coiutr'Uce, before whom Jndge Hooks appeared, and by which it was reported fcaox with indorsement that it do pars. Last Friday tire bill passed the House ED'i .f inely end w*s imtueairitely catrhd to las Senate, referred to the Finnnoe Committee, which reported favorably, and trough the assistanoe of Major Cum min/* it w*b brought np yesterday and parsed. It was ac once signed by the bo- 'hor of the Honee and President of the Senate, and, being presented to the Governor by Jndge Hook, received the exeoaiive approval and became final. Thr Sandersville Georgian is anthor- ized to say that Governor Johnioa does not desire to be Governor, and "that he has s >. by several years, reached the vcccrr.blo age of seventy.” Mb.

Frick, tho Conductor and Express Mes senger between Hawkinsvillo and Coch ran, telegraphed to Mr. John Fann, the Express agent at Hawkinsvilb, to meet him at the depot on tho arrival cf tho train at half past ten oV.ook that night, as he had a package of threo thousand dollars to deliver. Mr. Fann sat np for the tram, and was much astonished and alarmnd on 11b arrival to find that the valuable package was missing, and that so account could be given of it. Mr. Qainker, the messenger on the main line, delivered tho package to Mr. Frink at Cochran about two o’clock in the afternoon, and tcok a receipt for It. Mr. Frick eaye that ho took tho pack age and placed it in the iron cafe in the express csr, locked the safe end pnt the ki-y in his pocket. After tho arrival of the night psmengcr train from Macon at Cochran, about ten o’clock Tnesday night, tho HawkineviHe tram was made ready, and with tho passengers and freight for Hawkinsvillo, left on schedule time. Whilo crossing the bridge, just before resshiDg Hawkinavillr, Mr. Fdnh cajs ho went to tho safe in the exgros3 car,«a* locked it to gat tbo package ready for de livery. He was almost struck^damb when he found that the package was missing. Ho wes satisfied that he locked tbo safe in Cochran and that he found itlocked when he went to get the package. The whole thing appears Involved in myelery. David Fitts, a colored mas, who is on employeo of tho road, has keys to the ex press car, Bnd generally sleeps in the car until tho arrival of the Macon at Cochran. Mr. Finn had Fitts arrested and he is now in jail at Hawkinsvillo awaiting for further developments. The money was expressed from Savan nah by tho Southern Bank of tho Stato of Georgia to the Hawkinsvilio Bank and Trust Company. Messrs. Henry and Fann, the railroad officials hue, do cot attach i so 1'-- ’ en picion to tbo conduct of Mr. Frink, bnt nave unbounded confidence '-i ' is i*. - esty. But there is a mystery abjat the matter that is inexplicable. It'is possi ble that parties may have gained an en-, trance to the car after dark, and with a key provided for the purpose gamed ac cess to the iron safe aad extracted the package cf money. „ , S^xAKtsa of Treasurer Bsufroe s cibo the Dispatch says "two thousand dollars (a too small a salary for such an office and with enoh a bond, and the State can not get a competent a-d honest man to fill tne place for the miserable sti j d. Wherein yon differ with the Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta Dispatch most decidedly, the latter paper, especially, which Bays on this subject: Tho present is pscatiarly a timo when extravagant salaries should not be be- etowed. It is a time of low wages w every private bnstne-s. The public tares are now a burden to the people, and many oannot pa7 them without sacrificing property needed for their oomfort. This very condition of things—this difficulty of procuring remunerative labor in private easiness—conduces greedy to the demor alizing scramble for public office now so common. It 13 now-a-days the pay more than tho honor that exottes it. Hign eai- aries will only aggravate the evil. If moderate salaries have only an influenoe in diminishing it, even in that way they are wholesome and beneficial. Eet pub lic officers have fair pay for their work, but not snoh fat places as will "beguile” the people to forsake their fields of pri» vate labor in the attempt—disappointing to tbo large majority—to cecnre official positions. Thb Eastman limes says there is a dog ,‘in the neighborhood of Back Horn, in Daarens county, which has been kill ing fifty sheep on nn average a week, for tho last four montbB. Fifteen men havo been seeking him to kill him, but are un able to find him outside of his master’d yard.” The Gaihesveix and Dahlonega Eailhoad.—The Gainesville Eagle says “the contract for the grading of the Gainesville and Dahloncga railroad, will bo let out tc-morrow night at a meeting of tho directors to bs held in the otfio- of Messrs. Marley and Perry. The worn will be commenced at once and pushed rapidly forward. It is hoped tha own ers of lind through which the road passe* will cheerfully givo the right of way and throw no obstacles in the way of the en terprise. President Price says he expects to have the care rnnniag by the first of March. Wo trust the prediotion may be verified. Thb Constitution of yesterday has tha following: The procesdinga in the general assem bly were exceedingly interesting, not to say sensational. In the Senate (be im peachment trial of Comptroller Gold.-mith was closed by the delivery of ■ written sentence by the chief jastloe. A large crowd gathered to bear the sentenoe pro nounced. Before the sentence, Jndge Hopkins delivered an impressive speech, giving tho Ireasona why Goldamitn bad tendered bis resignation—aiating that as the oase developed that he bad been be trayed by men in bis office. He stated al3o that he was authorized to say by b» client that he did not reoolltct any each conversation as Senator Hol combe had alluded to in bis speeoh of tho day before. The reading of the sentence was heard in silenoe. Aa Judge Warner's voice ceased, with the close of the dreadfnl sentence, the High Court cf Impeachment conven ed for the trial of Washington Ii. Gold smith, passed ont of existence. After the court had adjourned, the Senate went on with its business, and before the boar of one had arrived, had disposed of all the Legislative busiresa before it. It will be seen from this that thaBenato has kept np with the business of tho Honse, be side* carrying on the impeachment trial. In the House the epecial order of th day was the consideration of the reports on John W. Nelms, the Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary. The sensation of tho morning was the fierce attack made upou ex Governor Brown by Mr. Gar rard, in which he reviewed in a truculent manner tho story of tho trial of the Columbus prisoners, and referring to Governor Brown’s allusion to tho com mittee as a star-chamber, said that the days cf the sweat-box recalled the worst type of a star-ohamber. His allusion to Governor Brown as "a mean anonymous writer in a city paper” created a seda tion. Mr. Walters followed in denuncia tion of Governor Brown, being almost as bitter as Mr. Garrard. Tha sensation of the afternoon was the introduction by Mr. Humber,of a resolution blaming Gov. Cilquiu, for not interfering in the matter of Nelc:a CDUtraot. This resolution created the intensest excitement, and was the nni- ver°*1 topic of conversation. It will be the leading question this morning, and there are rumors of sharp orovs-tiring, and some Interesting work. There is no donbt that the resolution was a severe shock to most of the members of the Honse, and tbo almost universal Impres sion was that tho Honse would not sus tain it, in either letter or spine. The de bate promises to be lively in the extreme this morning, and the vote will be a dacta ive one. Mr. Humber’s resolution is u fol lows: JUsolvcd, Tnat this honse pronounoes its noon■ TH d censure on the action of JohnW. Nelms, principal keeper of the Georgia penitentiary tn making a private contract with the leases of the conviots of slid pcsit-hUiry to deliver uud oonviote to them at a certain price per capita and in enforcing the same contrary to law; bnt it bsing shown to the House by the evidence in this oaee that bis exoellency, tho Governor, having been pat in posses* sion of all the facts (by Jndge John L. Hopkins,) as to the demands of said prin cipal keeper to have paid to him by cer tain leasees a gfron amount of money, against whioh they enterod their solemn protest, and cs bo refused to interfero, therefoie be indirectly, if not directly, approved a»id action and is responsible for tbia wrong and unlawful procedure of said officer.

HinAAt Wabneb, Chief Justice Supr/mo Court of Georgia. Gc vBBNoa Colquitt has appointed Mr. ffm. A. Wright Comptroller General of tie fcinte v,C.* Goldsmith, impeached and removed from effio. W« make this • xtraot from a Macon letter in tbe Augusta Neve: Tho xnnniog and Uotting at the Stato and North Georgia Fairs will undoubted ly be very exciting and speedy, with many nines, even though no horses are lit ought from other Slates. Past expert no- baa taught U3 that racing, witn ail its chimed objections, is the chief attraction for tbe masses. I have therefore -«k?n come pains during my travels, to Jearn what Is to be expected— what nors -s or* in training. ■ In ’his city I find Several very promis ing trotting and rnnning animals—sev eral whose record last fall was aglowm 2;41 and 2:43, that hard been doing ad mirably well. Indeed, Madam Eumor tells Bomo astonishing stories as to the time made by them in private trials. John Marr, who brought ont the cele brated Bismarck, has in training Lucy Jim, a green blaze-facad black mare; a sorrel horss owned by a party in Fori Valley, one of the finest two year olds in the South, and Mr. Plcnt’a young horse John M„ a fine, clever well formed ani mal. As he has never ye, appeared in a race, his time is unknown, but it is generally conceded that he can make 2:4* on a goed track. He is one of the dark ones. Mr. Plant likeo a good horse, bnt is not inclined to enter bis borsea in races. Mr. Marr will have charge of him at tho several fairs. Mr. Or ok, that drove Basil Duke and the speedy gray horse, Sand Hill, for two seasons so successfully, ia now handling Mr. Anderson’s splendid five year old colt, Electric. His Weeding, open gait acd perfoct form makes him a valuable norse. In time be should trot at least in tbe twenties. Mr. O. also has tbo late Clint Taylor’s horse. Stranger, and several other speedy ones, oil of whioh aro expected to show what they can do in the circuit including, Griffio, Albany, Macon, Atlanta, &c. I havo also learned that there ore two very fast trotters at Barneavillo, tha young stallion, Gsli Da,r, end Smuggler. There are also rwo at Americas, one at Forsyth, threo at Griffin, including tho old reliable stal lion John Kemball Jackson, and it hea been hinted to mo that tho Rheumatic Spide was not sold np North, bat will put in an appearance at Atlanta and Ma con. Ths Atlanta correspondent of tho Au gusta News writes that agcnt3 "of the Police Gaselte have been trying for threo weeks past to obtain a photograph of Comptroller Goldsmith, but havo foiled eo far. They have, however, a picture of Colonel Ksnfroc, and it will bo present- d next week, in connection with a full Di-.-.ory oi tha “high cr-m.s and misde* me «uofc.” Tbe Cgkitorpe Echo says last Thurs day night th* ihurmcmeter in Lexington mukcd 50 degrees. Judge Henry C. “Weaves, an old and most oslimubl* citizen ot Greensboro, died last Wednesday. It is lb* opinion of the Bainbridgo Democrat, "that tho present Senate is composed of more able men than has been eiestod to that body in Georgia einoc the war.” What it has Done and is Doing.—Wo take great pleasure in reproducing tne fol lowing from the Dahlonesa Signal: There is not perhaps in the entire State on institution of leamiog that ha* and is accomplishing aa much good as Dablonega College. The following facta so kindly inruiatica ne by tbo accommo- idtiug Socr t*ry of the Faculty, Major Joseph G*rrr.rd, will b<ar a* ont in this assertion. Sicca the paseag? of the law some three year* ago, uu nonziug it, 191 cer tifies-ea loteacn have been issued. Out of this number it is reasonable to sup pose that seventy-five aro now engaged in teaching. Fhe blank reports sent ont for the purpose, Ehow an average attend ance tor each teacher of fifty-nine acholo3rs, which makes a grand total of 4,425 pupil*! This number, it will be re membered, is exclusive of a great many who are being taught by students who loft this Cuiiege and received their license from the Conuty School Commissioners, provions to tbe paes,ge of the act a< or* referred to. Up to the morning of the lGth in,t.. 142 truisms bad emered for the Fall Term, This number represents four States. Thirty-eight counties in Georgia being represented. Thus it will be seen that no college in the State—not even our venerable mother at Atheas, with seventy #e»r* the startof n=—osn ehow such a reoordj. The Sparta Times and Planter has the following notice of a recent visit to David Dickson’* farm in Hancock county : Considering tho season, bis orop3 are really splendid. We eaw one fifty-acre field of cotton that was beautiful to be hold. Truly was it "white to the har vest.” Most of tho cotton wa open and being rapidly gathered. Thirty bales is e low estimate for the field—indeed forty docs not seem to us extravagant. His corn is the finest wa have seen—that un der bis immediate supervision being a real good crop for any year. Mr. Dickson very reasonably expects to gather from eleven to twelve hundred bales of cotton this season. One year he gathered 1,500 bales from tho M-me lands and Mr. Wortben thinks at least two hundred were lost in the fields for lack of time to cave it. There is an nn- -ua*l amount of sickness in this neigh borhood. Wa were sorry to find Mr. Dickson and Mr. Worthen, hia nephew, both unwell. Death or Mbs. Jasie3 S.

Atlanta, September 18,1879. THE HIGH COUBT OF IMPEACHMENT met at 3:30 p. m. pursuant to adjourn ment. The Chief Jr/tice cn the bench. Counsellor Hopkins, on tbo part of the defense, declined to take advantage of tbe permission ot the oonrt to make a statement of reasons why the defendant did not avail himself o! the speeches of the counsel. Senator Clarke then addressed the Senate on the amendment of Senator Howell, and epoko at great length on the question, showing how the sympa thies of some Senators have led them in to a realm of mercy and kindness unfit for the enormities committed by the de fendant. The epeech of Senator Ciarka was highly complimented by ail who heard it as a clear exposition of tho constitutional view of the question. Senator B. H. Hill said, as Mr. Clarke ooncluded hia argument, that the speech of tho State Senator woald havo been a great epecoh in the United States Senate. Mr. Clarke was c early for the full ses- t/nce without falterlDg. Senator McDaniel said the unnsual character ot this debate has rendered it necessary for him to go at some length in to this qnestion. The gentleman was strongly opposed to the motion of Sena tor Lumpkin to p%B3 fuller sentence and favored the Howell amendment as being tho true view of tbo Bubject. Senator Boyd favored tho Howell amendment. A motion was hero made to adjourn till to-morrow at 10 a. m., bnt it wag voted down. Another motion was then mado to ad journ till 8 o’clock this evening, which motion was also voted dswn. Senator Harrison rose and said that tho question had been now before the 8eza:e for more than a month, and that there was no use in delaying tbe matter farther, as the chamber could eettlo the entire question in about five minutes. Senator Russell ngam addressed tho body on the Hswill auenlmenr, utter which the Chief Justice proceeded to put the question first on tho amendment of Senator Howell, and then on tho mo tion of Senator Lumpkin. The motion of Senator Lumpkin '.bat the full sentence of the law bo pass, oi upon Goldsmith, to wit: Removal from aad disqualification to hold any of ficeof profit or honor in this Stato. Totaia motion Senator Howell offered an amendment striking out tho clause containing the disqualifications to hold office. And on these two propositions tho Senate proceeded to vote. Tbe amendment oi Senator Howell was first pat to tbe chamber by the Caief Justice, and tho result of the voto was follows: To adopt the amendment—Senators Boyd, Bryau, Cabaniss, Candler, Casey, Camming, Hoad, Ho well and Turner- 14. Against adopting tho amendment— Senators Bower,Clarke, Clemente, Drake, Clifton, Dubose, Duncan, Fain, F-ilks, Grantland, Grimes, Hamilton of ta* 14cb Hamilton of the 21st, Harrison, daw- kin*, Holcombe, Holton, Lumpkin, Perry, Simmons, Staten, Ti*on of tbe 4ib, Troutman, Wellborn -nd Leaier—25. Tbe question tbun recurred on tne mo tion of Senator Lumpkin, which was paeB full sentence ot removal from and disqualification to hold office in fnture the State. On this question the vote etood for tbo motion—Senators Bojd, Bower, Bryan, Cabanas, Candler, Casey, Ciarke, Clements.

THE HIGH COURT was called to Older at 10 a. m., Chief Justice Warner presiding. Mr. Speer, who was absent yesterday afternoon, asked leave to have hie voto recorded in tbe negative on Mr. Howell’s substitute and in tbe affirmative on Mr. Lumpkin’s motion. Granted. The jonrnal of yesterday was read and approved. The Chief Justice then asked: "Hava the defendant’s oonnsel any reason to state why the final decision of tbe court should not be pronounoed and entered upon tbe reoord?” Judge Hopkins then rose and said that there was no longer any hope that the sentenoe would not be recorded. The de fendant has already been found guilty, and it only remains for the oonrt to an nounce tbe penalty. Ha said that the offioe of Comptroller was the most intri cate offioe in the State, and that no one man oould in a short time oomprehend it In all its details. The present ossa ia hard to nnderstacd, and Is inuioata beyond oonception. In eon ducting this ease we have acted under tbe assumption that the defendant was an honest man. We do not deny that there were irregularities in the offioe and violations of law. But they were com* mitted openly and in the light of day, showing that the Comptroller did not consider them as violations. When be retires from offioe a condemned man it will not be for any intentional diahon eaty, bnt from a miscomprehension of the law. We bad hoped that the penalty would not be to tho full extont of tbe law, bnt yesterday’s vote deoided tbia matter beyond recall. Whatever may be the conviction of Senators and those who have listened to tbia trial from the beginning, I shall retire with the convio tion that tbe defendant is not wilfnliy guilty of crime. Jndge Hopkins called attention to the fact that one ot the Senators (Mr. Hoi combe) yesterday made a statement of fact which had not beforo been introdoc* ed, and whioh the defendant bad had nn opportunity to answer. He add be had the defendant’s authority for stating that tbo Comptroller was unwilling to concedo suoh foots as bring true. This was in reference to a conversation be tween Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Holcombe on the morning after the articles of im- peaobment had been preferred.

Mr. Garrard then spoke of the alleged corruption in the offioe of Principal Keep er of the Penitentiary. He urged the LeEislaturo to act, and not throw the re sponsibility on the Governor.

Red tr * v, b jndiolary committee with In- - struotione to that committee to p rfer an tieles of impeachment against Nelms. Q Tho clerk than read at the gent ecisn'a request, certain portions of the evidence of Judge Hopkins before the commibtea, in whioh he eaid that Colquitt told him that the contracts were made between Nelms and other parties, and that ho had nothing to do with the matter. If John Nelms ought to be turned ont of office. I put to yon a fair question. If Alfred U. Co!quitt|ough t not to be pat oat of office; they are inwparabh; Nelms ia a part of the Executive Department. If there is any crime, I ask is not tho Gov ernor particeps criminis ? Let us deal with John Noims only u3 tho subordinate of th9 executive cf the State; whatever he haB done, haa been docs by the approval cf the Governor. Tho previous question was called on in* substitute of Mr. Wilson, and the substitute was lost, yeas 61; naya 69.

Naims, principal keeper of tho Georgia Penitentiary in making a prl vate contract with the lessees of said penitentiary to deliver eaid convicts to them at oertain prise per cadis, and en forcing the same contrary to law; but it being shownito the House by thejevidenco in this case that has Excellency,the Gov ernor, having been put in possession of ail the facia,(by Judge John L, Hopkins) as to the demands of said principal keeper to have paid to him by certain lessees a given amount of money against which they entered their earnest protest aud as be rcfcs.d to interfere, therefore, he is indirectly if not directly responsible for this wrong and unlawful prooeedure of said officer.” Tm* resolution created a tremendous sensation Tho Hcuso then adjourneu till 9 to morrow morning. THE NEW OOJIFTUOLLYR GENERAL. The Governor, at tho request and pe tition oi a large majority of both houses, appointed Mr. Wm A. Wright Comp troller General of the State,to fill the va cancy caused in said office by the removal of Washington L. Goldsmith for high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr. Wright is a broth'-r of Hon. Gregg Wright of Augusta, and was a candidate for the office at the ket election fy the General Assembly. Ho has also been a clerk for eome years in the wild land office. The appointment of Mr. Wright has uiven great satisfaction, as the Legisla ture is fully convinced of his ability to conduct the dutieB of this office, ami hia personal integrity is beyond qaeation. THE HOU8E. Atlanta, Sept. 20. The House met at 9 o’clock, aud was called to order by tbe Speakei. Prayer by Rsv. Mr. Hanke, of the House. The roll W03 called and the journal read. THE INVESTIGATION. The unfinished ou .inea9 was the substi tute offered by .Mr. Humber, for tho res olutions of tho Committee, which has in veatigated tho Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary. Tho substitute condemns the Governor for allowing tbe malfea sance of Mr. Nelms. Mr. Walters said ho wished to state that tho Oommitteo were not in sympa thy with the substitute. Toe question was on the conduct of Mr. Nelme. If the subBtilute was offered at the proper time and in the proper way, it would be con sidered. At present, Mr. Walters said, ha was opposed to the substitute at this time. He called the previous question on tha anbBtitnte and the call wa* sustained. The yaaa and naya were erdered. Tne yeas were 16 and the nayB 115, so the substi tute was lost. Mr- Duvall offered a substitute pro viding that the whole matter be recom mitted to a special oommittee of five with instructions to investigate the mas ter fully, and to give tbe principal keeper of the penitentiary opportunity to have all the evidence he may desire. Mr. Pike favored the enbatitate. Mr. Garrard spoke in favor of the res olutions ousting Mr. Naims. Mr. Hu!sey eaid he spoke with hesi tancy. He argued that one of the most sacred rights of the principal keeper had been denied him. The committee bad taken evidence with closed dcora while they were examining bis official conduct. Nu wonder Mr. Nelms said he had no more witnesses under suoh a process There ia but ono way to meet this ques tion. Either give him suoh a trial aa the substitute proposes or impeach him and let tbe Senate paBa upon it* Mr. Russell said he seldom spoke bnt felt it now his duty to advocate the sub stitute of Mr. Duvall. The committee bad not allowed thoaoousedto befaoed by hia accucere. The testimony in this oace shows a mere lot ot straws The prinoipal keeper had been hauled up by a leasee dissatisfied with aeontiacL A member of tbe committee bad brought personal feelings into the debate and at tacked the character of a distinguished Geoigian. Other* bad thrown imputations on Governor Oolqnitt. Wo havo nothing to do with Governor Colquitt or ex-Gov ernor Brown. Mr. Yanoey offered a substitute that tbe matter be recommitted with instruc tions to allow Mr. Nelms to ba present during tbe investigation and orosa-exam ins tbe witnesses. Mr. Colley rose, and asked the .privil ege of recording hi* -rote against the substitute of Mr. Humber, whioh can sued the Governor. He was detained at home by8lcknessat the time the vote was taken. Mr. Cclley was allowed to reoord hia vote. Mr. Matthews opposed the substitute, and argued in favor of the resolutions asking the removal of Mr. Nelms. Mr. Strother said he believed in pro serving intact the forms of jnstice. He did not think the investigation had been conducted in jnstice to the defendant, and, therefore, he conld not vote to eject Mr. Nelms on suoh evidence. Mr. Milner favored the substitute as means of giving tha accused a full and fair hearing. Mr. Turner of Brooks offered for in formation a substitute that the evidence in the investigation be transmitted to the Governor with the request that he taka whatever aotion thereon he may deem proper. Mr. Turner, in his usual, calm manner, advocated the polio/ of aodera< tion. Mr. Davis, of Houston—I would ask the gentleman, do yon believe in allow ing an officer who is being investigated to be present and by himself and counsel to cross examine witnesses ? Mr. Turner—I will answer the inquiry by asking the gentleman if he deems that right. Mr. Davis—I do. Mr. Turner—Then I fear that there is a difference of opinion between tho gen tleman and myself which no controversy would reconcile. This repartee called forth some ap plause on tho floor and in tbe galleries. Mr. Yanoey offered for information a substitute recommitting the matter to tho same oommittoer with instruction? to allow the pnnoipel keeper to be present and cross examine all the witnesses. Mr. Yanoey made some remarks in favor of this cocrso of aotion as just and proper. Mr, Davis, of Houston, said he de nied the propriety of tho position of Mr. Tamer as to the rights of officers under investigation. He wonld never agree that such should be the ruis of the House in such oases. He did not propose for an officer to appear with skilled attorneys to brow beat witnesses and contort invest! gations. Mr. Davis urged tho removal ot Nelms as a measure for preserving the purify of official station in Georgia. He showed the shortcomings and overt acts of Mr. Nelms, whioh disqualified him from fill ing this cffico witn hoccr to tho Stato and justice to the people. Mr. Colley said it would be unfortunate to set a preoedent that a man might bs punished without a hoariug. The qu:.’ or innocence of this man is now in ques tion. Mr. Turner tui sngge3 ed im proper policy, and that, if carried cai, would do exact justice to all parties con cerned. Mr. Hammond said he spoke with re- luotanoe. He believed this to bs a ques tion which touched tbe great fundament al pzinoiplea of onr system. Mr. Hammond argued with calmness and force for this proposed policy. Mr, Cook oalled the previous question. The call was sustained. The yeas and nays were asked by Mr. Duvall, but were refused. Mr. Turner ibea offered the substitute submitting the question to the Governor. Mr. Davis of Houston, offered as an amendment to the BUbatitnte the report No. 1, which gives the facts adduced in the inveatigaticn. Mr. Colley called for tho previous question and the call was sustained. On motion of Mr. Harrison, the time of the session was extended to half past one. Mr. Davis’ amendment was lost. On Hr._ Turner’s substitute to submit the question to the Governor, tha yeas and nays ware called; tho yeas were 93 and tho naya 33. So the substitute was adopted. Mr. Rider made a shrewd point of or der after the previons question had been called and a motion to extend the time o£ the session was made. He mado the point that a motion to extend the time could not ba mado pending a call for the previous question. The point was ruled well taken. The time was afterwards ex tended by consent. The House then adjourned ti 1 Monday morning nt 9 o’clock. SECOND HAND GOODS. Wb at osra I if yon have loved before, So tha-. you love mo—love me oeas and last?
